The powers that be don't seem to want to officially disclose what the
number of false/cloned plates in use to avoid parking tickets, CC,
speeding fines is, but it IS significant I have no doubt.

1 in 250 was the rate quoted in a newspaper whose title escapes me at
the moment. That is a high value if true. It's possible the clones are
using similar car makes to the victims' original too which presents a
major problem for the innocents: it seems the onus is on the innocent
at present to "prove" innocence but I haven't seen any cases where
"clone!" was a successful defence. It's bound to happen and the sooner
the better - the current CC system is very expensive at 50mil/year (to
raise 47), poorly signed (no ON or OFF at the boundary such as used in
the US) and depends 100% on a bit of plastic containing letters and
numbers.

In other words ready for undermining.
